...The contribution margin per haircut is $2.50. Subtract the variable cost, which is the hourly rate for each worker from the unit price of a haircut. $12-$9.90=$2.50. The breakeven point by definition is the sales level at which a company neither earns a profit nor incurs a loss. To find the brat even point all a business manager needs to do is divide the contribution margin per unit into fived costs. You must find the fixed cost first. To find the fixed cost you subtract the total variable cost per unit from the sales price per unit. The break even formula for this one is $1,750/$2.50=$700. 20,000 units times $12 per unit equals $24,000. To find the operating cost for 20000 haircuts all you would have to do is multiply by the price per unit. With the company only performing haircuts the unit price is still $12. If Andre revises the compensation method and gives $6 for each haircut and $4 per hour the new contribution margin per haircut would be $2.00. The breakeven point for the new revised compensation would be $870. For the contribution you would do $12-$10=$2. For the breakeven point you would do $1,750/$2=$875. If all the stylist where to perform 20000 haircuts in a year a long side their hourly rate per year the total expense for all five stylist Andre would have to pay is $120,000. The total for the hourly rate plus the compensation a year is $40,000+$120,000=$160,000. The best method for Andre to apply for his business is to use the flat hourly rate of $9.90....

...Unit 4 IP G**** N******* American Intercontinental University This unit’s case studies seemed to focus a great deal on growth of production and overall company growth. In the following pages will be a basic overview of the case study answers from the excerpts. All of the readings contained a tremendous amount of useful knowledge. The excerpts: Denver Goes Alfresco, Firewire Surfboards Lights Up with CAD, Colgate-Palmolive keeps managers smiling with executive dashboards, will be analyzed and discussed as listed. In the first excerpt, Denver Goes Alfresco we go over a major growing point in Denver’s economy, city-state government, public relations and community involvement. These major changes, once started, took 15 month period of 6-12 week cycles. Before every implementing this project The city-government and its various agencies were in a blinded state of turmoil. They were have so many issues with technological communication that the only option was change! So change they made by implementing a single centralized IT group whose sole purpose was to bring the city-government out of the ashes. This of course meant saying farewell to the existing 14 management systems, saving costs in doing so anyway. The new system, the enterprise content management (ECM) system had to fill 3 major roles records, security, and finally communication. The ECM chosen blew its competitor away with a million dollar a year in potential savings. That and its ability to accommodate the cities...

...Grade Received: "B-" Abstract This essay will talk about why abortion is immoral and should be illegal. Although abortion is legal in the state of Texas, doctors should exercise their rights to not take part in abortions. Legal and Moral Stance of Abortion Abortion is a very touchy subject, not only here in Texas, but pretty much everywhere. Some will say it is moral, some will say it is immoral. As a healthcare provider, I feel abortion is immoral all the way, and that even though it is legal here in the state of Texas, it should be illegal. If I were actually a healthcare provider, this could potentially create challenges in a healthcare setting. Although the amount of abortions has decreased during the 1990s, there are still about 1.2 million legal abortions each year (Fremgen, 2012). Here in Texas, three very significant laws have been passed since Roe vs. Wade. In the late 1980s, abortions that were done in the last trimester were outlawed, which put an end to the alternative left behind from this particular decision. Following Roe vs. Wade, in 1977, a law was passed that protected any health care provider that both refused to participate as well as those that participated in abortions. Private facilities did not have any legal obligations to do abortions except if the mother’s life was in danger (Abortion Laws in Texas, n.d.). During 1985, the Texas Abortion Facility Reporting and Licensing Act decided that every abortion...

...the business. The ability to educate one another requires modesty, and comprehension that individuals have more power when they aide each other’s growth. Both of these are traits of a strong team (Martin, 2013). 2. Making Decisions: Also within a strong team, individuals are aware of what role they play as well as the chain of command in their business; this makes for easy decision making. Each member of the team knows who has the power to make a decision, and this individual’s choices are accepted. Each member has the chance to give his/her opinion, and the leader will consider them (Martin, 2013). 3. Clear Expectations: When each team member is aware of what is expected of them, they tend to be more efficient and feel better about their occupations. Team members tend to trust each other, depend on each other, and work independently all at the same time. When a team member does not know what is expected of them, they get frustrated and begin to feel hostile, as well as feeling that other teammates ask too much, or other people are doing too little (Martin, 2013). 4. Strong Communications: Strong teams have solid communication networks. As individuals start to work from different places, this network becomes more necessary. Strong teams are aware of how to get in touch with each other, and it is necessary to keep each other aware of what is going on at all times. Each individual knows which data is most important for each person as well as who is responsible for sharing...

...BCO1102 Information Systems for Business 2014 Semester 1 Prepared by Paul Darbyshire Prepared by Paul Darbyshire Welcome Welcome to BCO1102 Information Systems for Business for Semester 1, 2014. For the vast majority of you it will be a compulsory unit of study as it is part of the Business Core in all undergraduate Bachelor of Business degrees. The major focus of this unit is on how computer- based information systems can support decision making in organizations and businesses. Those decisions often need to be made by professionals who come from discipline areas you are studying such as accounting, management, information systems or marketing. One of the most important elements of an information system is people, so all of us need to know what role we can play and what role information and communication technologies (ICT) can play in supporting decisions. This unit will look at the theoretical side of information systems as well as personal productivity tools such as spread sheets and databases. In addition we will look at global trends in information systems and in particular the emerging use of Cloud Computing and Social Networking, which is sometimes called Web 2.0. The unit of study requires the textbook Introduction to Information Systems by Rainer, Prince and Cegielski 5th Edition. The textbook is used for the theory and some of the practical work in tutorials. All reading for this subject during the semester is assigned from this textbook. Feedback from previous...

...Analysis of the Regency Plaza case study 4.0 Risk Evaluation and Management of Regency Hotel Project Any project will presents risk elements that represent opportunities or threats that can undermine the smooth running or even completion of the project. Similarly the Regency Plaza project with its high stake of the deliverables, careful managing of risk should be top priority. Using the four stages of Risk Management framework, we shall attempt to evaluate how well risk was managed in the case Regency Plaza project. 4.1 Risk Identification: Sources of Risk Identifying the sources of risk is paramount; detect as many as possible and should be directly related to the project objectives. Uncertainties will happen during the project runtime; hence identification of all possible of risk elements should be meticulously specified, and in the case of Regency Plaza, it can be associated with the design, development, quality, staffing, schedule and budget. Since the Regency Plaza was a mixed use project, and being the first of its kind undertaken by the Group, they may lack the experience in running this project. This was further compounded by the complication of the size and layout of the floor plate in terms of the difficulty of designing a structure to accommodate condominiums over the hotel rooms, seated over a parking garage. Elevator core location and column spacing were essentially fixed by these constraints. At the same time issues such as length of the hallways, floor...
